all we the town received thank-you note from Pat was made to Camden Town Council Jeff Jerry Cody and all thank you so much for the gift card for the book to Barnes and Noble you could not have chosen a better gift I'm already making a list of books I want to get thank you all for the retirement party at we so appreciate your thoughtfulness and I did enjoy visiting with so many people I wish you all well in the future I know you will do great things for payments and certainly Pat no nope everybody thought that she also posted up big THANK YOU in the new county paper in the comment so we have that so I didn't know it and would have anything new one healthy the last time I talked to Pat I said Panem I suppose you know I did a partial of ordinance started and I said shy my supposed to finish it she said we wanted to hold off till the the council tells you really good are we going to go ahead with the with the in-state building or dancing so well I'll have it prepared and send it on to you the thing the thing I'm giving with with I mean I look through it and everything and with you know you either condemn ability then you gotta do something with it and they suggest that every contractor that comes into town he charging $500 a year and I'm like why you know if I want to come to my house now he's got to charge me $500 for to pay for the images there I'm going to in March it's one that both of the commissioners if the commissioners do that so I'm going to continue to check on what's been done on that and we have you know we have the five people that are I think they're all

18:30 – 20:300

miners yes you know I'm giving their a lot of problems they can be overcome but their problems on that so if you all want me to proceed ahead and do something for the next meeting just tell me but and it figures to the commissioners they don't have this is what I need to check you know they once they get it and I talk to the treasurer and she talked to the auditor and we're all thinking what do we do with it you know it didn't go for a tax sale and we have all these minor kids on it and so but I'm going I'm going to keep on it if you all want me to prepare something for the next meeting I'll do it has there been a president's precedent said all right here what has there been a precedent set in the county yeah that was the first moment the treasurer of the audit review yeah I think keep investigating because I mean with your family destroy the brother home I'm all they got ignorance of it cuz I've done in the field on it these are grants available to take care of this house okay here here's would be a won't move there was a there was a house of home that had burned and the guy just bring all the furniture of stuff that burned out the arc and left well Mike my brother means the superintendent of the town $5,000 go up to the Logansport to divide it to you know that's what people he got it for 50 bucks well so they could turn around the tear it down well they had a bit of $12,000 to tear it down they went to get a grant when they went to get a grant you through all the paperwork this way you got to do it that way and

20:25 – 22:140

they went from set 15,000 to 40,000 poles in the ground it's 5050 you know if somebody wanted to take taxes in the taxes tax sale that's what 6500 or something like that then they they could do the carry on they'd have the law I don't know what the log is worth is opposed without so what about what about the sewage going on what the sewage lien well this if it because of the texture pack sale then the sewage we will be forgiven because if when if I buy it at the tax sale when time comes for me to get the deed I'm going to get the deed free and clear of all those all those in any lien on it so if it doesn't go to the tax sale then Berlin an individual's than forgivable in but because of the statement were dealing with the State Board of accounts they say we can't do it if I have a lien on your property I can forgive that Glenn but even though we go even though legally you're you're saying there's no amount though right I don't think so here's a steak house a house it has to be the full mouth if it goes to a tax sale and you know then you have generally that's a year right they generally sell up in September and then the next September you can get the deed and once the tax sale being is living to

22:10 – 24:100

you it's free and clear of all different reason but my theory is so what you're saying is if it doesn't attack so that's that's great but it also have to sit there for another year right but they don't really become their problem they don't get the be perfectly here let's assume it goes to the tax sale and Melina's forgiven but it would tear it down so is that the first step is you guys have to start governments for the yeah and get the funding go for start with like I said every contractor that comes in town if we let it go for tax sale they sells it's already September right he's a tax sale right in 20 and they buy it say the neighbor buys it or whoever that advised it then we forgive the sewage lien because they bought it to the helper September 21 but then what guarantees that he will tear it down if you have an ordinance and it's not grandfathered in so should we buy the wardens begin the end of the game right in the ordinance so because I don't want to get into the business of having to pay to tear down somebody's houses and they just walk away right yeah came to come up with an additional provision he has a certain amount of time yeah I mean can we get ahead of that and saying if you buy and then you get it in the tax sale and you take ownership of this property and has to be either brought up the standards or tore down but they don't have to do anything for 12 months well they can't no I understand that I don't saying I want to

24:08 – 26:070

get ahead of the game with my vision no this is what you're saying this it was advertised for the tech sales in the last part of September that's when the tech sales are in Carroll County if I decide to pay if I decide to pay the taxes now and buy it I'm not sure whether it starts from now or whether it starts from last September before I can get it right but can we make you tear it down if it doesn't mean this you have an ordinance that's what I want to get ahead of the game and write that ordinance okay or something to bring it up to the standard you know yeah I think we can only number newsy to bring the property up to stands right you have so many must bring a problem oh yeah because we got another one down there on Cumberland close to you that means something oh yeah so so yeah what do you give them you in just Erie him six eight months to get property up to living standards I will research it and stay west amen and then one thing I'm thinking you have to think if the land is $6,500 which I think it's in their work then it's gonna take twenty thousand tears yeah you know you have to want to put almost 30,000 well that's not going to happen obviously that would happen yeah if they buy at the tax sale and then we have and they want to tear it down yeah put a garage up or whatever they want to do one thing that I don't want him to get into that's why I want to have we're going to get ahead of the game

26:00 – 27:590

right now yeah that's why you're here for four more years before intercept keep that ordinance I think we're all on the same page James you need to write something down let's go right down I know I remember I see it right there in this far as far as a driver limit this far absolutely can ride it too and just to show you on the thinking that I have to bring it to the reason live standard can we set our own time for how long is each patient for our small town mode if it cost $1,000 a herd of these problems down it's going to devastate you transform that well we got better place to spend that money yeah you know the owner needs to be responsible for their properties [Music] all right okay I'm gonna be out of the office for two days January the 15th is
